If there's anything as exciting as the fact that Beyoncé unexpectedly dropped a new single and music video yesterday (which, TBH, has some of the best beauty moments we've ever seen), it's that she just performed the song "Formation" during the Super Bowl halftime show. Predictably, she looked #flawless, from her bouncy curls to her glowing skin. The man behind those shimmery copper lids and the cinnamon-toned lipstick: none other than the inimitable Sir John, who spoke with us in the days leading up to the show to give us the scoop on tonight's look. Unsurprisingly, there's a lot that goes into the makeup for a Super Bowl halftime show. "We've been prepping this for a while," Sir John told us yesterday after the dress rehearsal. Just a few things to consider: the lighting, the cameras, and the length of the performance. "At first I was thinking of doing a cat eye, but I wasn't crazy about how it looked on the cameras; so I completely abandoned ship and went with something else," he says. The result: a super radiant, "juicy, honey-kissed" look with fresh skin, metallic lids, and a matching lip that was designed for California's golden hour.

With one of the most-watched televised events in the world occurring this Sunday (the Puppy Bowl Super Bowl), everyone is gearing up for the game—or at least the commercials. But no matter what you're tuning in for, we think it's safe to say you're going to be a fan of this. Throughout Super Bowl weekend, Pantene is running a spot called "I Got a Dad-Do!" that features football players styling their daughter's hair. How can you not cheer for that? The ad, along with three online-exclusive clips, show NFL pros DeAngelo Williams of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Benjamin Watson of the New Orleans Saints, and Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys playing hairstylist as part of Pantene's "Strong Is Beautiful" campaign. Each video highlights the fact that fathers who spend quality time with their daughters can have a long-lasting impact on girls' confidence and self-esteem from a young age, allowing them to grow into strong, successful woman. We especially love how Watson's video shows the more sensitive side of football players. For example, at one point he says, "If you're a father, and you only have so many hours in the day, maybe doing their hair is one of the

Bruno Mars' killer halftime performance, the many puppy commercials, and a Seahawks victory aside, last night's big Super Bowl felt kind of uneventful. (Or was it just because the following New Girl episode was SO eventful?) Anyway, as celebrities' various Instagrams and tweets filtered in, I realized all the action wasn't on the field but rather behind the scenes. Check out some of the best: Nina Dobrev wins for best excited facial expressions: Is Gabby Douglas giving Erin Andrews a run for her money? (Speaking of Erin...get the deets on her super-cute outfit last night.) Chrissy Teigen's reign of most likable continues: Only Alessandra Ambrosio and Hayden Panettiere can pull off a cap that well. I bet they don't get hat hair either: Oh, hey, Aaron Paul: What would a "best pictures" list be without Beyonce? And my personal favorite, Diddy's coat:

One of the beautiful things about the Internet existing is that you can watch most of the Super Bowl ads before the game, freeing you up during ad breaks to chase down that sandwich you've been making eyes at since the last time-out. Of course, there's another reason you might want to look away during the commercials this year. It seems every company in America is hell-bent not on getting you to buy its product but on getting you to buy a dog. All of the year's biggest commercials feature the best-looking puppies you've ever seen. Strategy: Ask your hungover boyfriend/husband/roommate in a soft voice the next morning if you guys can get one, then take his snoozy silence as a yes. Check it out: Audi's Doberhuahuas are so bizarre, I kinda love 'em. And there's even a rescue-friendly message at the end! (I knew Sarah McLachlan was gonna have to get in on this joke eventually.) Then there's the trusty golden in this Doritos spot—he's time-machine-maker man's best friend. As I watched the pack of gorgeous munchkins in this CarMax spot, my own dog's ears kept twitching, like, are we having friends over? OK, if you made it through

We already know that Beyoncé can work a red carpet party dress like a boss—no QUEEN—and she just kills it like no other onstage. Case in point, her sexy, steamy, earth-shattering opening performance at the Grammy Awards last night. Oh, and since she didn't get to walk the red carpet before the show—you know, sound check and all—here's a shot of the star in her sheer, peekaboo Michael Costello gown and Lorraine Schwartz bling that she donned post-performance. You're welcome. So clearly we need to crown Queen Bey with the Glamour Style Icon of the Week and—since we're still on a Grammys high—celebrate with her most killer onstage looks. I couldn't help but start off with this gem: Bey and her glistening, super-toned abs rockin' what looks to be a bedazzled bra and banana-skirted ensemble at the Fashion Rocks concert in 2006. She took the stage with future hubby Jay-Z. In 2010, she was nominated for nine Grammys—eventually to take six statuettes home with her. She also killed onstage in this stunning geometric leather dress by Atelier Versace. In May of 2011, she sizzled at the Billboard Music Awards and proved who in fact runs the world in this hot,

Tracey told you all about the effort that went into the sexy leather-tard Beyonce wore for her blowout Super Bowl halftime performance--now let me share the crazy backstory to the hot gold chevron nails she wore--and the even flashier, long manicures her backup dancers wore. Here's a backstage photo snapped by Beyonce's nail artist, Lisa Logan. I mean, if there's any nail look worthy of a Beyonce halftime show, I think it's probably this. Right? Pretty hard to top. So what does it take to make a major nail moment like this happen? Even more than you'd think! A full week before the Super Bowl, Lisa got a phone call asking her to jump on the first available flight to New Orleans to create the nails for Beyonce and her 10 backup dancers. Why so far ahead of time? Because B's team would be filming those cool holographic background effects, so they needed to be in their full game-day looks. "As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I began working on creating super long nail tips covered with the Gold and Matte Gold Chevron Minx that would be worn by the backup dancers," Lisa says. "The nails were

In case you were, I don't know, camping out in the middle of nowhere last night, Beyonce performed—with Destiny's Child—at the Superbowl last night and it was the best thing to ever happen in life for many reasons, one of which was her gorgeous makeup and nails! First, the performance was awesome—so high energy and you could tell that she was singing her little butt off live (at least for most of it. "Halo" was a little suspect for me). And right afterwards half the lights went out in the stadium, causing everyone on Twitter to make some version of the "Beyonce blew the fuses/the world wasn't ready for that jelly" joke. But enough about all that, let's discuss the gorgeous makeup she was wearing! She wore a gray smoky eye with hints of shimmery copper or bronze that made her eyes look so intense, I couldn't handle it. And her nails? Gold foil chevrons. Hot. The girl looked insanely beautiful. And then Michelle and Kelly came up and helped her sing and I basically died for a second and then came back to life like a phoenix because I her performance needed to be seen, people. It was a

Superbowl party, anyone? If the gang is going to be gathering at your place to watch the game, that probably means the beer is going to be flowing--and subsequently, the calories. Megan Parisi from Bluejacket, a new brewery that will be opening in Washington, D.C. in early 2013, helped us track down several of these picks that'll keep the calorie count in check, but are actually drinkable too. She and Greg Engert, Beer Director for the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, say to choose beer over wine since you can have more and the calories go further. This stuff will please both the waistline-watchers and the taste-watchers. You can thank us later when you're the hero of the party. All of these beers have about 150 calories or fewer per 12 ounce bottle (or can!), which is pretty nifty.

First, my condolences to you Patriot fans out there. But there's a certain something that's been popping up in red carpet nail looks recently and it made yet another appearance on Katy Perry's nails at the Super Bowl—and could possibly be a sign of her allegiance to the Giants.

Even M.I.A. flipping the bird to 110 million + viewers couldn't upstage Madonna's wardrobe during the Super Bowl halftime show last night. It may not have been your man's favorite moment of the game (mine preferred Mario Manningham's insane catch), but as far as we're concerned, those Givenchy frocks stole the spotlight.

Whether you're interested in football or not (I'm the first to admit that for me, it's all about the commercials and hyped-up half-time show), chances are you're going to find yourself at some sort of Superbowl gathering on Sunday night. So what will you wear to watch the big game? Keep it cute and comfortable, kinda like this look from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

I just got back from the Superbowl (Go Saints!) and I brought back a few of my favorite "super bowl-d" looks as a souvenir for all of you beauty buffs who watch the game for the commercials, celebrity appearances, and of course, the wings, nachos, and general junk food buffet...

Today's post is devoted to Amber, one of the cuties over in the beauty department, who's headed to Miami for super Sunday. "I've never been to a professional sporting event—what should I wear?" she asked. Whether you're catching the game in person or on TV at a party, the key is to be cute but not overdressed, casual but not schlumpy. Pieces that mix girly and sporty, like this cropped sweatshirt jacket, make that easy. What to wear with it, after the jump. Jayne blazer, $24.99, available at alloy.com

There was only one thing coming between me and my second helping of guacamole and third slice of pizza at last night's Superbowl party, and that was Jennifer Hudson looking better than ever as she belted out the national anthem.
